   Barge transfer accident; Goleta Point, CA.
   Goleta Point, CA.
   1. The USCG requested an analysis of a small release near Goleta Point, CA. A Barge released an estimated 1 bbl of light crude (API 21) during a pumping operation. The origin of the spill was at location 34°24.45N 119°53.5W and the spill occurred at 0905. A slick or "pad" was observed at location 34°25.1192N--119°54.862W at 11:34. That location is about 1.3 nm up the coast to the west of the release location. We we asked if the observed "pad" could have come from that known release location, and where likely landfall from the release might be.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: LIGHT CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 42 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 34.407N 119.892W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8264: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8264
